Informations about the disease

Clinical Comment

Kallmann syndrome (KS) is a rare genetic disorder defined by delayed or absent puberty with impaired/absent sense of smell. Closely related is normosomal-idiopathic hypogonadotropic hypogonadism (nIHH). Both diseases lack the gonadotropin-releasing hormone. KS and nIHH occur in both sexes, men are diagnosed more frequently. Patients with KS/nIHH are typically noticed in adolescence due to delayed puberty. While reproductive symptoms predominate, facial abnormalities (cleft lip/palate), lack of a kidney, shortened fingers, numbness, bone and tooth defects and disturbed eye movements are also observed. All monogenic inheritance patterns are observed, the penetrance for the KS phenotype is virtually complete for some genes such as ANOS1 with respect to the core symptoms and high for recessively inherited forms. Comprehensive gene panel diagnostics reveal pathogenic sequence changes in up to 60% of affected individuals, a normal DNA result does not exclude clinical diagnosis.
